A Menopause Makeover is a customized combination of surgical and non-surgical treatments designed to address the physical changes many women experience during perimenopause and menopause. Hormonal shifts can affect fat distribution, skin elasticity, breast volume, muscle tone, and metabolism, often in ways that diet and exercise alone cannot correct.
Rather than a single procedure, a Menopause Makeover is a thoughtful plan tailored to your body, symptoms, and goals, focused on restoring balance, comfort, and confidence during this stage of life.
Why Does Menopause Change the Body?
Menopause triggers a significant drop in estrogen, which plays a major role in skin quality, fat storage, and connective tissue strength. As hormone levels fluctuate and decline, many women notice changes that feel sudden or unfamiliar.
Common menopause-related body changes include:
- Increased fat storage in the abdomen and flanks
- Loss of breast fullness or increased breast sagging
- Thinning, crepey, or less elastic skin
- Decreased muscle tone despite consistent exercise
- Changes in facial volume and skin texture
These changes are normal, but that does not mean you have to live with outcomes that affect your confidence or comfort.
What Procedures Are Commonly Included in a Menopause Makeover?
A Menopause Makeover is highly individualized. The goal is not to chase youth, but to help your body look and feel aligned with how you live now.
Common surgical options include:
- Breast lift with or without implants to restore shape and position
- Breast reduction for physical comfort and improved proportions
- Tummy tuck to tighten the abdominal wall and remove excess skin
- 360-degree liposuction to address hormonally driven fat deposits
Non-surgical treatments are often layered in to improve skin quality and recovery:
- Botox or other neuromodulators for soft facial rejuvenation
- Laser skin treatments to improve texture and tone
- Microneedling or exosome-based therapies for collagen support
- Medical-grade skincare to address thinning or dryness
At Providence Plastic Surgery, these options are combined strategically rather than automatically, based on what will create the most natural and sustainable result.
How Is a Menopause Makeover Different from a Mommy Makeover?
While there can be overlap, the goals are different. A Mommy Makeover focuses on changes caused by pregnancy and childbirth. A Menopause Makeover addresses hormonally driven changes that occur later in life.
Key differences include:
- Emphasis on metabolic and hormonal fat redistribution
- Greater focus on skin quality and tissue fragility
- Consideration of recovery tolerance and long-term maintenance
- Often more conservative, precision-based surgical planning
Many women seeking a Menopause Makeover are active, health-conscious, and realistic—they want to feel like themselves again, not dramatically altered.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Menopause Makeover?
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Are in perimenopause or menopause
- Maintain a stable weight but notice stubborn body changes
- Feel that your body no longer reflects your effort or lifestyle
- Are in good overall health
- Want thoughtful, personalized improvement rather than extremes
A consultation is essential to determine timing, procedure selection, and whether surgical or non-surgical treatments, or both, are appropriate.
Can a Menopause Makeover Be Non-Surgical?
Yes. Not every patient needs or wants surgery. For some women, targeted non-surgical treatments can create meaningful improvement, especially when concerns are more about skin quality, mild laxity, or facial aging.
Non-surgical Menopause Makeover options may include:
- Botox for facial tension and fine lines
- Laser treatments for sun damage and collagen loss
- Microneedling or regenerative therapies
- Customized skincare and maintenance plans
These approaches can also be used as a first step before surgery or as maintenance after surgical procedures.

What Results Can You Expect from a Menopause Makeover?
A Menopause Makeover is designed to restore proportion, comfort, and confidence.
Patients often report:
- Improved body balance and fit in clothing
- Reduced abdominal fullness and heaviness
- Restored breast shape and comfort
- Smoother skin texture and tone
- A renewed sense of control over their appearance
Results are long-lasting when paired with stable weight, healthy habits, and appropriate maintenance care.
How Do You Get Started with a Menopause Makeover?
The first step is a comprehensive consultation focused on listening, education, and planning. This is not a one-size-fits-all package, but a collaborative process that respects where you are now and where you want to be.
